(32,704 posts)pertains specifically to the use of solitary confinement for violent criminals. When you focus on the actual point that was being made regarding keeping correctional officers and other inmates safe, Adams makes perfect sense and I agree with him 100%.
Everything else he said was not meant to be taken as literally as it's being taken in some corners. To focus on that part of the comment instead of the substance comes across more like a deflection or a bad faith attack from detractors.
And who are these people who are insisting that violent inmates should be able to wreak havoc across jails? What's in it for them? Favors from the violent inmates? Of course, there's a lot I don't know regarding the other side of the argument and the clip was edited. However, this is just my honest opinion based on what I saw in the clip.
